Obama Dares Call Senator Warren By Her First Name, Elizabeth

After being accused of being sexist for calling Senator Elizabeth Warren her first name, President Obama is not backing down. He’s still calling her Elizabeth.

He made the comments today in response to a question about trade.

Watch here:

“The issue with respec to myself and Elizabeth,” the president said with a grin, “has never been personal. It’s fun for the press to see if we can poke around at it–when you see two close allies who have a disagreement on a policy issue. But there are a whole bunch of some of my best friends in Senate as well in the House, some of my earliest supporters, who disagree with me on this. And I understand it.”
